About this listen

Welcome to the seventh episode of the Call to the Pen flagship podcast! New episodes Monday and Wednesday. Today we discuss viability of Ichiro’s Hall of Fame candidacy, the AL Wild Card Race, as well as the recent protest by MLB umpires, and the prospect of robotic officiating of the game of baseball.

 

In today’s episode, host and Call to the Pen contributor Jonathan Platek discusses the qualifications (or not) of Ichiro Suzuki’s bid for the Hall of Fame. Jon discusses whether Ichiro is the “true” Hit King in baseball, breaking down the various cases for or against him and Pete Rose wearing the crown.



Jon also breaks down in detail the AL Wild Card Race, discussing which teams are leading the race, exploring their chances, as well as the chances of some teams that are currently on the outside looking in as we head into September.
